Matthew 14
1 At the time Herod the Tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus.
In that season, heard Herod the tetrarch, the fame of Jesus:
2 And he said to his servants: This is John the Baptist: he is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him.
and he said unto his servants—This, is John the Immerser, —he hath arisen from the dead, for this cause, are the powers working mightily within him.
3 For Herod had apprehended John and bound him, and put him into prison, because of Herodias, his brother’s wife.
For, Herod, seizing John, had bound him, and, in prison, put him away, —because of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother;
4 For John said to him: It is not lawful for thee to have her.
for John had been saying to him, It is not allowed thee, to have her.
5 And having a mind to put him to death, he feared the people: because they esteemed him as a prophet.
And desiring, to kill, him, he feared the multitude, because, as a prophet, they held him.
6 But on Herod’s birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced before them: and pleased Herod.
But, a birthday feast of Herod taking place, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod;
7 Whereupon he promised with an oath, to give her whatsoever she would ask of him.
wherefore, with an oath, he promised to give her, whatsoever she should ask for herself;
8 But she being instructed before by her mother, said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Baptist.
and, she, being led on by her mother, —Give me (saith she) here, upon a charger, the head of John the Immerser.
9 And the king was struck sad: yet because of his oath, and for them that sat with him at table, he commanded it to be given.
And the king, though grieved, yet, because of the oaths and the guests, ordered it to be given;
10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
and sent and beheaded John in the prison.
11 And his head was brought in a dish: and it was given to the damsel, and she brought it to her mother.
And his head was brought upon a charger, and given unto the maiden, and she brought it to her mother.
12 And his disciples came and took the body, and buried it, and came and told Jesus.
And his disciples, going near, bare away the corpse, and buried him, and came and brought tidings unto Jesus.
13 Which when Jesus had heard, he retired from thence by boat, into a desert place apart, and the multitudes having heard of it, followed him on foot out of the cities.
And Jesus, hearing it, retired from thence in a boat, into a desert place, apart, —and the multitudes, hearing of it, followed him on foot from the cities.
14 And he coming forth saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, and healed their sick.
And, coming forth, he saw a great multitude, —and was moved with compassion over them, and cured their sick.
15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past: send away the multitudes, that going into the towns, they may buy themselves victuals.
And, evening, arriving, the disciples came unto him, saying—The place is, a desert, and, the hour, hath already passed, —dismiss the multitudes, that they may go away into the villages, and buy themselves food.
16 But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give you them to eat.
But, Jesus, said unto them, No need, have they to go away, —give, ye, them to eat.
17 They answered him: We have not here, but five loaves, and two fishes.
But, they, say unto him—We have nothing here, save five loaves and two fishes.
18 He said to them: Bring them hither to me.
But, he, said—Bring, them, to me, here.
19 And when he had commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
And, giving orders that the multitudes should recline upon the grass, —taking the five loaves and the two fishes, —looking up into the heaven, he blessed; and, breaking, gave, the disciples, the loaves, and the disciples unto the multitude.
20 And they did all eat, and were filled. And they took up what remained, twelve full baskets of fragments.
And they did all eat, and were filled, —and they took up the remainder of the broken pieces, twelve baskets, full.
21 And the number of them that did eat, was five thousand men, besides women and children.
And, they who did eat, were about five thousand, men, besides women and children.
22 And forthwith Jesus obliged his disciples to go up into the boat, and to go before him over the water, till he dismissed the people.
And [straightway] constrained he the disciples to enter into a boat, and be going before him unto the other side, while he dismissed the multitudes.
23 And having dismissed the multitude, he went into a mountain alone to pray. And when it was evening, he was there alone.
And, dismissing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain, apart, to pray, —and when, evening, came, alone, was he, there.
24 But the boat in the midst of the sea was tossed with the waves: for the wind was contrary.
Now, the boat, still many furlongs from the land, was holding off, being distressed by the waves, —for, the wind, was, contrary.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking upon the sea.
And, in the fourth watch of the night, he came unto them, walking upon the sea.
26 And they seeing him walk upon the sea, were troubled, saying: It is an apparition. And they cried out for fear.
And, the disciples, seeing him, upon the lake walking, were troubled, —saying—It is, a ghost; and, by reason of their fear, they cried out.
27 And immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying: Be of good heart: it is I, fear ye not.
And, straightway, Jesus spake unto them, saying—Take courage! it is, I,—be not afraid.
28 And Peter making answer, said: Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters.
And, making answer, Peter said unto him, —Lord! if it is, thou, bid me come unto thee, upon the waters.
29 And he said: Come. And Peter going down out of the boat, walked upon the water to come to Jesus.
And, he, said—Come! And, descending from the boat, Peter walked upon the waters, and came unto Jesus.
30 But seeing the wind strong, he was afraid: and when he began to sink, he cried out, saying: Lord, save me.
But, seeing the wind, he was affrighted, and, beginning to sink, cried out, saying—Lord! save me!
31 And immediately Jesus stretching forth his hand took hold of him, and said to him: O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?
And, straightway, Jesus, stretching forth his hand, laid hold upon him and saith unto him—O little-of-faith! why didst thou doubt?
32 And when they were come up into the boat, the wind ceased.
And, when they came up into the boat, the wind abated.
33 And they that were in the boat came and adored him, saying: Indeed thou art the Son of God.
And, they in the boat, bowed down to him, saying—Truly, God’s Son, thou art!
34 And having passed the water, they came into the country of Genesar.
And, going across, they came up the land, into Gennesaret.
35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent into all that country, and brought to him all that were diseased.
And, recognizing him, the men of that place, sent out into all that region, and they brought unto him all who were sick;
36 And they besought him that they might touch but the hem of his garment. And as many as touched, were made whole.
and were beseeching [him], that they might, only, touch the border of his mantle, and, as many as touched, were made quite well.
